GROLIER INTERACTIVE INC. LICENSE AGREEMENT, LIMITED WARRANTY,
AND DISCLAIMER
PLEASE READ THIS LICENSE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS SOFTWARE.
By using this software, you are agreeing to be bound by all terms of this license. If you
do not agree to the terms of this license, promptly return the unused software and its
complete package to the place where you obtained it.
LICENSE. In consideration of payment of the License fee, which is a portion of the
price you paid, the software and data accompanying this License (the "Software") and
related documentation are licensed (not sold) to you by Grolier Interactive Inc. and its
co-licensors (hereafter collectively referred to as GI). GI does not transfer title to the
Software to you; this License shall not be considered a "sale" of the Software. You own
the compact disc on which the Software is recorded, but GI and its co-licensors retain
full and complete title to the Software on that disc and the accompanying
documentation. This non-exclusive License gives you the right to use and display this
copy of the Software. Since this Software is shipped on a read-only medium (a compact
disc), there is no need for backup or archival copies of the Software to be made; if you
should receive updates to this Software on floppy disk(s), you are entitled to make two
archival backup copies of that disk(s). You are not permitted to copy the Software off
the compact disc, beyond the installation of the software as done by the Software itself,
to any storage medium. This License allows you to use the Software on a single
computer at a single location at any one time. All rights not expressly granted herein are
reserved to Grolier.
RESTRICTIONS. The Software provides you with the ability to save and print
specifically selected information contained within the Software. You may exploit these
features, where such capability is provided for within the Software, for your personal,
non-commercial use only, preserving all copyright notices that are embedded by the
Software within those printed elements. The Software contains copyrighted material,
trade secrets, and other proprietary material and in order to protect them you may not
decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or otherwise reduce the Software to a human-
perceivable form. Except as provided for in this license, you may not copy, modify,
network, rent, lease, or otherwise distribute the Software; nor can you make the
Software available by "bulletin boards," online services, remote dial-in, or network or
telecommunications links of any kind; nor can you create derivative works based upon
the Software in whole or in part. You may not electronically transmit or remotely
operate the Software by any means, nor may you use the Software over any type of
network. Within the terms of this license agreement, Licensee may transfer all of the
license rights to the Software to another party providing that the original compact disc
containing the Software, the related documentation, all copyright notices, and a copy of
this License are transferred to that party, and providing that party reads and agrees to
accept the terms and conditions of this License.
SOFTWARE UPDATES. Updated versions of the Software may be created by GI from
time to time. Licensee acknowledges that GI is not responsible nor liable for support,
maintenance or the provision of any new releases, enhancements or updates to the
Software. GI may at its sole discretion make updates available to registered Licensees
who have paid the update fee.
TERMINATION. This License is effective until terminated by either party. You may
terminate this License at any time by returning to GI or destroying the Software and all
related documentation and all copies and installations thereof, whether made under the
terms of this License or otherwise. This License will terminate immediately without
notice from GI if you fail to comply with any provision of this License. Upon
termination, you must destroy or return to GI the Software and related documentation
and all copies thereof, whether made under the terms of this license or otherwise.
LIMITED WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER. GI WARRANTS THE DISCS ON
WHICH THE SOFTWARE IS RECORDED TO BE FREE FROM DEFECTS IN
MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP UNDER NORMAL USE FOR A PERIOD OF
NINETY (90) DAYS FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE AS EVIDENCED BY A
COPY OF THE SALES RECEIPT OR PACKING SLIP. GI'S ENTIRE LIABILITY
AND YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WILL BE REPLACEMENT OF THE
DEFECTIVE DISC WHICH IS RETURNED TO GI WITH COPY OF PROOF OF
PURCHASE OR DELIVERY. GI WILL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY TO
REPLACE A DISC DAMAGED BY ACCIDENT, ABUSE OR MISAPPLICATION.
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES ON THE DISC, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO NINETY (90) DAYS FROM THE
DATE OF PURCHASE OR DELIVERY. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU
SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS
WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. YOU EXPRESSLY
ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT USE OF THE SOFTWARE IS AT YOUR
SOLE RISK. THE SOFTWARE AND RELATED DOCUMENTATION ARE
PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. GI AND ITS CO-LICENSORS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM
ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. GI DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE FUNCTIONS
CONTAINED IN THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-
FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS IN THE SOFTWARE WILL BE CORRECTED.
FURTHERMORE, GI DOES NOT WARRANT OR MAKE ANY
REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE USE OR THE RESULTS OF THE USE
OF THE SOFTWARE AND RELATED DOCUMENTATION IN TERMS OF THEIR
CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY THIRD PARTY SITE CONTENT ACCESSED
THROUGH HYPERTEXT LINKS IN THE SOFTWARE. GROLIER EXPRESSLY
DISCLAIMS ANY ENDORSEMENT OF, OR LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO ANY THIRD PARTY SITES. THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITIES
DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION ALSO APPLY TO THE THIRD-PARTY
SUPPLIERS OF MATERIALS USED IN THE SOFTWARE. THE LIMITATIONS OF
LIABILITIES OF GI AND THESE THIRD PARTIES ARE NOT CUMULATIVE;
SUCH THIRD PARTIES ARE THE INTENDED BENEFICIARIES OF THIS
SECTION. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE BY GI OR A GI
AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY OR IN ANY
WAY INCREASE THE SCOPE OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. YOU (AND NOT
GI) ASSUME THE ENTIRE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR
OR CORRECTION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION
OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY
TO YOU.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Under no circumstances, including negligence, shall GI
be liable for any special or consequential damages that result from the use of, or the
inability to use, the software or related documentation, even if GI or a GI authorized
representative has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions
do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential
damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. In no event shall
GI's total liability to you for all damages, losses, and causes of action [whether in
contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise] exceed the amount paid by you for
the Software.
GOVERNMENT USE. If you are acquiring the Software on behalf of any unit or
agency of the United States Government, the following provisions apply. The
Government agrees: i) if the software is supplied to the Department of Defense (DoD),
the software is classified as "Commercial Computer Software" and the Government is
acquiring only "restricted rights" to the Software and its documentation as that term is
defined in Clause 252.227-7013(c)(l) of the DEFARS; and ii) if the software is supplied
to any unit or agency of the United States Government other than DoD, the
Government's rights in the Software and its documentation will be defined in Clause
52.227-19(c)(2) of the FAR or, in Clause 18-52.227-86(d) of the NASA Supplement to
the FAR.
EXPORTING. You agree and certify that neither the Software nor any other technical
data received from GI, nor the direct product thereof, will be exported outside the
United States except as authorized and as permitted by the laws and regulations of the
United States.
GOVERNING LAW and SEVERABILITY. The License shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of Connecticut.
If for any reason, a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this License,
or portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision of the License shall be enforced
to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of both parties, and the
remainder of this License shall continue in full force and effect. This is the entire
agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter herein and shall not be
modified except in writing, signed by both parties.
